Re: To what extent can cryo treatment be used in audio equipments?

They've forgotten to cryogenically treat the listener, I think we should petition the utlities to Cryo the whole damn grid ;-)

Not looking to get flammed, but my understanding of actual "Real" cryogenic treatment involves a heating process followed by the deep freeze which with certain steel alloys will cause carbide
to migrate to the surface and provide a dramatic increase in wear and service life for rifle barrels and camshafts cranks etc.The reason for the heating aspect is the provision for stress relief as an added benefit, however only certain alloys benefit.
What little I know about Cryogenic treatment I learned from a close friend (Mike Rock) who is a Mechanical engineer with a PHD in metallurgy.

Little,if any audio gear IC's etc. could possibly survive actual Cryogenic treatment intact and even if it could I can't see how any benefit would be derived.

Is this some sort of mass delusional neurosis deal, wishful thinking or what ? an offshoot or further collective patholologic aspect or feature of Audiophillia Nervosa ?

Seriously I'm quite curious ?

And here's something I'm sure some of you will eventually need ;-)
